Private Court Hire
Any person can play badminton at Hutt Valley Badminton Hall. You can play on a casual basis any time the hall is not being used for Association activities. During peak times, bookings is essential. It is important to note that any private booking may be cancelled if the Association requires the hall or courts. If this happens, BHV will contact you to let you know.
As a private user, your lighting cost will be $22 per court per hour during peak hours and $17 per court per hour for off-peak hours. Peak hours are are 4.00pm to 11.30pm Monday to Friday and 7.30am to 11.30pm Saturday and Sunday.
You will need to bring your own racquets and shuttles. You can book as many courts as you wish as long as you have enough credit on your account and the required number of courts are available. Using courts without lights may result in cancellation of your HelloClub account.
To enable Private Court Hire, you’ll need to be an active HelloClub member of Badminton Hutt Valley and have purchased a “Casual Player (with Hall Access)” membership. This membership provides access Badminton Hall and enables you to turn on the court lights. NOTE: only one active BHV HelloClub account member is needed to book a court privately.
There is a one-off charge of $30.00 for a “Casual Player (with Hall Access)” membership.
Once you have signed up then you will have access to the online booking system and you’ll be all set to play.
